In a recent tweet, cryptocurrency analyst Egrag Crypto has outlined an ambitious forecast for XRP, building on historical data and Fibonacci retracement levels.
By drawing parallels with XRP’s 2017 price cycle, Egrag Crypto presents a detailed projection for the asset’s potential movement through December 2024 and January 2025.
The analysis begins with a flashback of XRP’s price behavior in 2017. In April 2017, XRP surged 150% during what Egrag named “Candle 2.” This was followed by an extraordinary rally in May 2017, during which XRP experienced a 1,330% increase. By referencing these historical trends, the analyst speculates that a similar pattern could emerge in the current market cycle.
Egrag outlines two potential price targets based on Fibonacci levels:
December 2024: XRP could reach the “Gold Region,” defined between Fibonacci levels 1.414 and 1.618, corresponding to a price range of $4.3 to $6.4.
January 2025: Following the pattern of May 2017, XRP may witness a 1,330% rally, potentially propelling its price to the next “Gold Region” of $13.7 to $27.3.
Egrag acknowledges the common argument that XRP’s price movements in 2017 occurred in a much smaller market. During that time, the Total Market Cap (TMC) of all cryptocurrencies was around $60 billion, while today it stands at approximately $3.7 trillion—an increase of over 6,000%. Despite the challenges of scaling price movements in larger markets, the analyst maintains optimism.
Using the 60x growth in TMC as a baseline, Egrag projects the potential market capitalization for XRP:
If XRP’s market cap in 2017 was $15 billion, scaling this by the same factor results in a projected cap of $900 billion.
For XRP to achieve this, it would need to capture 9% of a $10 trillion market or 18% of a $5 trillion market. These proportions, while ambitious, are framed as achievable in a growing and maturing market.
Egrag also emphasizes the importance of strategy in navigating potential market cycles. Investors are encouraged to consider their plans for holding, selling, reinvesting, or trading profits over the coming months. The choice to either “HODL” or actively participate in trading depends on individual risk tolerance and long-term goals.
